Nostromo Shamash

Inspired in the iconography and symbolism of Alien movie, a 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott. The film's title refers to a highly aggressive extraterrestrial creature, designed by surrealist artist H.R. Giger, that stalks and kills the crew of a spaceship, when the commercial spacecraft Nostromo, on its return trip to Earth with a seven member crew in stasis, is awaken by MOTHER, the ship's computer, on detecting a mysterious transmission, possibly a distress signal, from the nearby planetoid LV-246. Dan O'Bannon wrote the screenplay from a story he created with Ronald Shusett.

The Winged Sun (Shamash) is the Weylan-Yutani company logo. Shamash ("Sun" in Akkadian), was a native Mesopotamian deity and the Sun god in the Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian and Hebrew pantheons. Shamash was the god of justice in Babylonia and Assyria, corresponding to Sumerian Utu.
